Well, I've come to the slowest CPU currently in my AM2 selection, a Sempron 64 3200+ Manila.
Let's see what it can do.
I should note that the stock VID on this particular chip is 1.40v. AMD greatly overestimated the amount of voltage needed to keep this CPU stable at the stock frequency. The voltage reduction when under-volted gives a nice reduction in temperatures, I'd say on the order of 3-5°C under load and at idle versus being at 1.4v.
Sempron 3200+ Manila overclock settings
1.8GHz (stock): 1.10V (1.05V)
2GHz: 1.15V (1.1V)
2.2GHz: 1.2V (1.15V) ???
2.3GHz: 1.30V (1.25V)
2.4GHz: 1.34V (1.30V)
2.5GHz: 1.42V (1.375V)
2.6GHz: 1.47V (1.425V)*still testing
2.7GHz: not fully stable at any voltage so far, not a heat issue.
Temperature under load isn't too bad, I think I saw 46°C max under load while at 2.6GHz.
